I left Stability AI in late July 2024 to join a new stealth HW startup. I want to thank my former Stability AI colleagues for a year and a half filled with exciting challenges, discoveries and technical achievements. I wish them all the best.
Excited to share that we are working with Nvidia to bring @moonlake's 3D Agent capabilities into NVIDIA's simulation ecosystem (@nvidiaomniverse) to help teams build assets, digital twins, and scenarios at scale.
Here are 8 pairs of input images and the generated simulation-ready scenes.

Real-time neural rendering model @moonlake
Works on from any physics/game engine to close the sim-to-real gap.
If this is relevant to your team, I'd love to chat (my DM is open)!
What if you could build a gameplay with precision, then restyle it to look like anything - anime, fantasy, cyberpunk?
Introducing Reverie: a real-time, programmable diffusion model trained for games, capable of conditioning beyond pixels.
AI tools are only meaningful when they can help realize creative vision, not replace it. Sign up for our hackathon in January below to be the first to build on Moonlake 👇
I told my parents that I’d like to drop out of my cs phd program at Stanford a few months back.
They didn’t let me, we’re asian :)
So I graduated and started @moonlake.
@sharonal_lee and I saw urgency, and opportunities. Excited to share that we raised a 28 million dollar seed round to build the future for simulations and games.
Grateful for the angels @naval, @goodfellow_ian@stevechen, @JeffDean@rauchg, @emerywells, @JaredLeto, @chrlaf, alongside many more, and the venture partners that we are fortunate to work with: @moislamvc, Shaun Johnson, @chrmanning, Artem Barsukov, Elvin Hao, @mercebent, @veelarco and William Freiberg. If you're a founder and you're not partnering with them, you're making a big mistake.
Check out what we're about 👇
We raised $28M seed from Threshold Ventures, AIX Ventures, and NVentures (Nvidia's venture capital arm) —alongside 10+ unicorn founders and top AI researchers— to build reasoning models that generate real-time simulations and games.
Models are bottlenecked by practical simulations that can act as Reinforcement Learning environments. Human self-expression is bounded by tools that let us create alternate realities.
At Moonlake, we are building a future where anyone can create interactive worlds, bring their child-like wonder to life, learn within them, and most importantly, share experiences with people we care about.

Hi, I'm now available for consulting or full-time. If your team is looking for a tech leader with lots of experience in Generative AI R&D, 3D, GPUs, etc -- or if you're looking for a CEO or CTO for a very early stage startup -- I might be your guy.
Today is my last day at @StabilityAI . It’s incredible how quickly the past year has flown by! I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such talented and inspiring colleagues.
A special thank you to Christian @chrlaf for trusting me to lead the speech research direction as a new graduate. I’m proud of my team and all that we’ve achieved together. (Psst... Stable Codec will be released very very soon!)
I’ll truly miss Stability AI and the amazing team here. Excited to share my next steps with you all soon! ❤️
As a senior researcher who has both published in A* venues and has written toolkits himself and overseen the development of several others, it is humiliating to have to do leetcode grinding for a research scientist role in big tech. I have written more code than most people and I still will be judged for not being able to solve a coding question, WHICH BY THE WAY IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WILL DO A LOT IN BIG TECH BECAUSE WE HAVE CODING ASSISTANTS NOW FFS!
